Released 31 August 2009. BBC Review Featured On... Its narrative is arranged to achieve satisfying finality Mike Diver 2009-08-27 For the first minute of this second album by British four-piece Noah and the Whale, one can be forgiven for thinking that Sigur Rós have gone oddly alt-country. The 6 Music Album of the Day intro to the opening title track is, in a word, celestial. 31 August 2009 LATEST RECOMMENDATIONS Vocalist Charlie Fink’s entrance reassures the listener that this is, indeed, the same band that enjoyed chart success with the track 5 Years Time roughly 12 months Colour of the Trap ago. But while his opening lyrics – “It’s the first day of spring, and my life is starting Miles Kane over again” – are wonderfully optimistic, looking towards the future with eyes wide Tracks and fingers crossed, the dominant tenor of this long-player is decidedly wistful. Catch a Fire 1 The First Days of Spring The Wailers Taking cues from both Will Oldham – the cracked, worn vocal tones – and Bill Callahan – that wonderfully lovelorn weariness – Fink’s on fine form throughout this 2 Our Window long-player. And he has to be, as while the music around him swells with affecting elegance, it’s firmly entrenched in its players’ comfort zones. That’s not to say I Am Very Far 3 I Have Nothing progress isn’t apparent from the band’s debut, Peaceful, the World Lays Me Down; Okkervil River but you’d never call these arrangements adventurous. 4 My Broken Heart Consistency is achieved, though, and as such The First Days of Spring makes for 5 Instrumental I an enjoyably full listen – the way the title track slips from its strings-filled crescendo to the following Our Window and its measured, morose piano line is magical, and Links 6 Love of an Orchestra never are vocals rushed to the fore at the expense of scene-setting
